Thursday 10/18
 
Went out from 3pm to 6pm to work on my conditioning video. 
Did some small precisions 6'7" for about 30 minutes.
Worked on arm walks, 40ft long x 2 sets (dont know the name but you get up a wall and walk with your hands sideways along the walk while your legs are hanging) Good for shoulders and back.
Did some more of the Wall push ups. 
Feet on the wall, hand on the ground. I start with one push up, then walk the wall across back and forth as many times as you can,  doing a push up on each end. About 3 sets on a 20 feet long wall.
Also wall push walking up and down. 3 sets of 4 runs each.
 
Walked about 3 miles to the next spot, worked on some Laches for about 20 minutes, my hands couldnt handle it, the pipe was very thigh. Got a dime size blister close to my wrist.
 
Did some monkey walk and ended with some balancing on a 2' wooden rail for about 30 minutes. Walked back home another 3 miles.
 
7:30 to 9:30 went to the gym spot which I shouldnt have, I was beat already beat so didnt have the energy to take fully advantage of location. 
 
Started with precision jumps 6 walking steps width from mat to mat. Too beat, not enough leg power. Gave up after a few attempts.
 
Did some kongs on a 5'6"x 3' block successfully, tried 5'6"x 5' cleared it but sloppy. To tired to jump high.
 
Worked on muscles ups. Got to do 3 but not one after the other. Worked on dash, thief, and lazy vaults on a 5'6" x 3' block, successfully and smooth. Tried a few double kongs for the first time just messing around on the 5'6" x 5' block. Didnt carry enough momentum barely made it, to tired or to high. Will try it fresh next time starting on a lower height.
 
New goal
6 ft high kongs
Double kongs
 
Note to self
Need at least 2 hours in between a st session and gym session to rest and let the body recover, maybe even take a small high energy meal (peanut butter and jelly sandwich) for better performance at the gym.
 
I am taking today and tomorrow off, seminar this Sunday.. woooo 
Back to top

Been slacking a little bit only worked out for about 1 and 1/2 hour. I finally got enough to finish the conditioning video though.
 
Started with some stairs work. 
Backward crawl all the way to the top (15 steps) and back down going forward, up-down, up-down = 1 set. Finished 3 sets every time faster than the previous. 
 
Going up, killer for the shoulders, upper back, chest and core area. Going down, coordination, control work, forearms and back.
 
Stair jumping.
Same 15 steps. Jump up 5 at the time precision style, coming down grabbed the ledge of the wall cat leap around the corner and back (stairs are between 2 walls of which one bends into a corner. It has a 2" ledge I use to hang and cat leap walk my way along it) 
3 jumps, 5 steps at the time, come back down cat leaping across the wall and back on to stair jumped down from 7th step = 1 set. Finished 3 sets. 
 
Works legs power explosion plus precision posture. Cat leaps, works grip on narrow edges, and pretty much all your upper body. Jump down from 7th step, work landings, shins and ankles. I am thinking on getting some 2x4's and making an H shape about 2' length up and across to practice precision jumps and maybe I can jump from the 7th step precisioning on to it.
 
Crock wall/crawl.
Across the drive way, round trip = 1 set. Finished 3 sets. 
 
Works all your upper body and core.
 
Knees to the chest jump.
Onto 4'x7" concrete wall (up to my mid stomach) Didnt count the jumps but did 2 sets until I could barely make it anymore. First set taking one step head run to jump on to the wall. Second set, stood right on front of the wall and jumped up from there. Lot harder that way. I made it about 3 or 4 times where I could stay up on the wall. Most jumps I managed to place my legs on the wall but my weight pulled me back right away so I had to jump back on to the ground.
 
Works legs power explosion, balance and core.
 
Balancing on wall.
Used same wall to do some balancing, it is a concrete brick wall about 7" wide. I have a pretty original way to play on it. I do some freestyle dance on it, and up rock from breakdance, jumping around doing footwork kinda the one boxers do while jumping rope. Jogging around from one extreme to the other. Cat crawling, doing push ups and try to do knees to the chest as high as I can and land on it. I also do pistols. The main thing I look for is to just move around it as normal and free as I can while trying to keep my balance on it, always active non stop. Total time: 6min.
 
Finished trying to make this 9'9" precision jump I hadnt noticed I have here around the property. Attempted it about 12 times I made it once. I was probably tired for all the leg work (I hope). I am attempting it today again.
 
Although I only worked out for about 1 1/2 hour I got a good sweat.
 
No new goals, but that one precision jump.
 
I am editing the video today so you all can see what I call my "improvised PK gym" right outside my door.

Started light lower body conditioning. Still cant swing my arm very much so I am taking it easy.

Balance play time.
20mins. Added pistols in between.

Precision jump.
Very shorts 6ft, did it about 5 or 6 times. (cant swing my arm up high to pull me forward yet, shoulder hurts)

Jumps.
Jumped up to and down from 3 feet wall. 10 reps, 3 sets.

Trained Kyle for about 45 minutes, finished first attempt of Urban Current Logo.


Shoulder is feeling better, still gives me a hard time when tying to train though.

No new goals until shoulder is feeling better.

i think what you refer to in your first post as the "wall push" is called pressure climbing. for lazy turns, make sure you are spotting your landing on the way down. focus your eyes directly on the exact spot where you want your feet to land, and they will go there. this technique works for almost every move. i can never stress enough the importance of spotting your landings.

New goal

Since I am still focusing on lower body due to injury this are my new goals.

Precisions
Going from my actual 9'5" to 10'5". I am at 11' with a about a foot or so of increase height from take off point.
Tic tac
I am covering a pretty long distance right now about 7 plus feet jumping back from a straight towards the wall run. No angle.
My angle tic tac distance hasnt been measured yet, I would say it ia about 10 feet, the longest I have tried. Gotta measure that spot.

Lower body conditioning.
An over all goal for me to set more LW exercises rather that just doing tic tacs and precisions for conditioning. I need to get more into my old pistols, squads and balancing routine. I am making excuses for not being able to use my upper body yet.

Goal for tomorrow.
No PK conditioning.
4 sets of 10 pistols each side on even ground or 5 each side on balancing wall.
200 squads. No weight or maybe using the elastic bands. As many as I can do at once if I have to stop rest 60 secinds and start from where left of.
10 minutes of wall balancing.
4 set of 100 jump rope. Depending of how the shoulder is feeling but it should be fine.
3 sets of 20 jumping lunges
Finish with some jump ups onto 3ft wall, 3 sets of 15.
I should be dead by then by I deserve it for slacking.

Kevin and Kyle came over. We did some upper body work out at the walls at my place.

Yes I actually can do some upper body stuff now. Shoulder is feeling pretty good so I did some of my Muscle up conditioning exercises at the wall at my place, 4 sets of 5 (wrist still sore from injury). Some cat leap walking along the wall. 5 sets of complete walk back and forward, wall is about 9 feet across adding a corner. Pull ups on the wall, 2 sets of 6. We also worked on 2 steps wall up, without getting up the wall just focusing oh height.

We did some precision at my place, nothing to fancy, just helping Kevin out.

From there we went to some of the spots where we worked on cat leaps, I did a few but wasnt doing to well at going up the wall, shoulder hurt a bit. We did some balancing, worked on tic tacs and finished with more precisions.

About 2 hours total, no a heavy workout but pretty good.

Hiked the Kahana Bay trail, a full mountain up and around coming down another mountain. It was my first time there. My wife went once and told me it was about an hour or so, but once up there I noticed the trail continue, so we decided to go. We ran into another guy coming down and he told us it went all the way up the mountain and down to another side of the mountain. The hike was about 5 hours. Really mean hike, it challenges your conditioning and fears. There are parts where you have to climb down/up a 7 to 11 feet rock onto 3 feet path with cliffs several hundred feetfeets down on each side, the coming down is fun and easy kinda hard on the knees, at least for someone like me who have done several crazy sports throughout my life. The view is amazing up there, you can see all the cost and the roundness of the earth, just fantastic and breath taking.

Here are some pics.

20 mins into it



45 mins into it


Breath taking


Half way going up, the view of whats we have left behind.

whats still to come


Getting jungley






Almost at the top


Once going down we can see a section of the mountain we came up from, not suitable in one pic as you can see.


On the way down we almost at the end, without sun light and night falling on us ran into some graves..


Amanda didnt dear but I did.


So that was my workout of the day.

Sweet, mean hike.
